The High Character of the Newspaper
Advertisements of To-day.
An advertisement of the present day.
as q rule, is a model of clearness, pre-.
cision and compactness. In fact, quite
degree of pleasure can be derived
from the perusal of it. aside from the
important information which it often
times conveys.
In ingenuity the modern advertise
ment is remarkable; in fact it is FREE
quently work of art both in literary
and typographical sense. The aim of
some advertisers in many cases seems
to be to draw. the attention of the
reader away from the fact that it is an
advertisement. While not taking
rank among what may be termed
literary productions, it possesses many
of their brightest features. In the
hands of master workman, be he adj
vertiser, writer or compositor, the
matter becomes attractive to the most
casual reader. The latter's attention
is drawn toward it. and his interest in
it aroused before he is fully aware of
the merely putting ones merchandise
has passed out of date. The reading
and purchasing public of to-day de-
mand something stronger and better.
That this want is recognized and ap-
preciated by the keen advertiser and
equally alert public is apparent to
almost every one. The fact is adver-
Using has become such an integral
part of modern business methods that
it is almost impossible to carry
on any kind of trade or traffic
without its aid. 1t is well known
that many concerns pay large
salaries to skilled writer's whose only
employment is the invention and the
framing of attractive and telling adj
vertisements.
Thousands of dollars are annually

how many years he may have been es-

to the purchasing public, or how cele-

IN KANSAS AND OHIO.
Race Prejudice Rampant in Two Stat
Controlled by Republicans.

Race Prejudice Rampant in Two States
Controlled by Republicans.
The last Legislature of Ohio repealed
the law compelling the maintenance of
separate schools for colored children,
as the ratio of colored children to white
was only one to forty. The repeal of
the law compelled the one colored
child to seek place among the other
thirty-nine or give up going to school
at all. The thirty-nine. or their par
ents for them, objected to the one on
the ground that the thirty-nine were
in danger of being contaminated or
disgraced or something by association
with the one. This little leaven of
color was sufficient to create a fear
that the school contingent of the whole
State was in danger of becoming col
ored or something worse. In three
towns at least disturbances have oc-
Cured and the trouble is. likely to
spread. At Ripley the colored children
have been rejected. At Oxford the
separate schools are maintained in de-
fiance of the law, and at Yellow
Springs the schools have been closed
entirely.
This manifestation of race prejudice
has also appeared in Kansas, the State
which had its birth in the conflict
which ended in making the colored
people the peers of the whites before
the law. At Fort Scott, town OF
1000 people, the colored people con-
cluded to claim their rights in this re-
spect, and at the opening of the
schools couple of weeks ago sent
their children to the white schools
only to be refused admission. The
courts have been appealed to and are
certain to decide in favor of the col
ored people. So bitter is the feeling,
however, on the part of the whites
that they propose, if beaten, to with
draw and leave the schools entirely
to the blacks. This would be biting off
the white nose to spite the black face
with vengeance, but the very threat,
foolish as it is, shows how deep the
race prejudice is, even in the States
most noted for their abolition tenden-
cies. If sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gahder, indeed we submit that
the Republican papers should de-
nounce Republican Ohio and Kansas
for these manifestations of race preju-
dice as fiercely as they did Democratic
Georgia for proposing to do by law
what the people of the two former
States appear to be doing contrary to
law. If they do not the public will be
justified in the conclusion that the
most of the Northern cutlery against
race prejudice in the South is rank

Ancient Beacons.
From the Iced 8 Mercury,

Although the use OF beacons is OF
great antiquity, in England, until the
reign of Edward III. they were but
stacks of wood set up on promon-
tories and high places, and fired when
the coming OF enemies was DESCRIBED
but in his reign pitch began to be used
instead Of wood. By using this COM
bustible it was easier to control the
flame SO as to give forth q full blaze
at night, and by covering the pitch
boxes cause them to emit dense NJ asses
Of smoke throughout the whole of the
day. These beacons had watches reg
ularly kept at them, and horsemen
stationed to give notice when the fire
could not be seen during the day.
They were kept up by q rate levied on
the counties by the sheriff. The money
due Or payable for the maintenance OF
the beacons was called Beconagium.
When the Armada was expected they
were carefully organized and made
serviceable. Since that time they
have not been needed, science having
given us a swifter and more effective
message bearer in the electric tele-
graph. In 1855 the Worcestershire
beacon on Malvern Hill was set ablaze
in commemoration of the close of the
Crimean War.
To an observer of the late brilliant
display of jubilee beacon fires it would
beeasy to realize how admirably
such signals must have answered their
purpose in former times. From the
top of Snowdon eighty fires were
counted; sixty-four were found burn
ing at one time. From Cottington
Hill, Hants, eighty-three were visible.
From the Brecon Beacons eighty-nine
points of fire could be discerned. The
blaze on Malvern's lonely heights was
repeated from Piecally, in Pembroke.

lacking varieties of food, but in con.
| finement Of course cannot.
Growing fowls should be supplied
| with hesh-forming and bone king
substances. The bone material sbould
be given to all fowls, as there is g.
| waste Of bone at all the times, especially
should growing chickens have these
substances. We hear complaints that
| the chicks grow very fast, but their legs
are weak, and give out. Where we see
| chickens sitting down to eat, it is an
Indication of weakness of bone. Wheat
middlings contain more of this sub
stance than any other food, next
| wheat and oats.
Bone meal or broken oyster or clam
shells, or their equals, should be sup
piled to fowls in confinement. Where
running at large, they will commonly
gather them on our gravelly and
sandy soil, but on our loamy and
prairie ground it must be given them
freely; and the safe way is to supply
this substance wherever the yard is
coated. One Of the principal ingredi-
ents of egg food, which is Justly so
highly priced, is bone meal or ground
shells. This egg food is especially
adapted for growing and laying fowls.
For fatUening fowls there is scarcely
anything better than corn meal. It
will put on fat faster than anything
else. but the fowl should not be con-
fined to that. This should be cooked
or scalded and seasoned with salt.
Moulting fowls should be supplied
with q variety, and more of other
grains than corn. They need some
| thing to make feathers. Bone meal
and the like comes good here. Fowls,
| if confined at this season, will eat
feathers ravenously and will pull their
own to get them. 1t is good plan
when killing fowls to throw to the re-
naming flock what feathers we do not
want; and once q day let the fowls
have full range.
Ducks will thrive best where they
can get worms, frogs and other live
food, such as in the edges of a pond;
also must have green feed, although
they will do we'll on ordinary food for
hens.-[G. M. T. Johnson, in Poultry

Irish WooIens in This Country.

From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
Orders to the extent OF from E25,-
600 to 100000 for Irish woolens have
been taken In this country by Peter
White, who represents certain Irish
manufacturers. The goods are of q
very coarse character, as the climate
is particularly adapted for the growth
Of long wool which is required for the
coarse fabric.
The facilities OF the manufacturers
are limited, and there are not over
half dozen well-equipped mills in all
Ireland. There are some mills here
and there, but the owners are all men
OF small means, and consequently do
their work in E. small way, and cam
not introduce their goods for lack Of
capital. There are several mills that
make goods of excellent quality, and
these goods have been taken by
English merchants III the past and
sold as English goods, thus robbing
the Irish woods of the reputation they
deserve.
Mr.. Whites purpose is to national
ize their goods and help the Irish man.
ufacturer and people to employment.
In the hope to foster the Irish indus
tries and to convince the American
public of the excellence of Irish goods,
100000 was subscribed and q limit
ed company formed, styled the Irish
Export Company, and it was in the
interest Of this company that Mr..
White came to America.
These goods do not compare with
American goods in finish as they are
much coarser. All considerations of
the tariff Notwithstanding, the Amer
lean goods of about the same grade
can be manufactured and placed on
the market from 20 to 25 per cent.
cheaper than the Irish. The face of
the American goods is much finer than
the Irish, the latter filling place for
coarse and strong fabric. Notwith-
standing all arguments to the con-
trary, the Irish goods are we'll made
and durable, and all rumors as to hair
from other domestic animals en-
tering into the manufacture of this ar
ticle, are false. The leading difficulty
which tends to restrict the sale Of
these goods in this country is the diff
iculty in weaving the goods into
light fabric for summer wear, the
trouble being that in attempting to
make the goods fine they are rendered
wiry. The amount sold in Boston by
Mr.. White is understood to be small
on this trip. Chicago was perhaps
the chief buyer

Poultry Hints.

The larger fowls require less Of the
fattening food than the smaller varie-
ties, as they are, in cultivation, quite
disposed to fat; and just for this
reason, corn and corn meal, which con-
sist largely Of fatteping substances,
are not SO good for them as wheat,
oats and buckwheat, which have more
of the flesh and egg-forming substances;
oats alone are not good, too much
husk.
For laying hens, good supply of
wheat, oats or buckwheat, with corn
or corn meal, is best. 1t will not do
to use too much of the latter, espe-
cially if the fowls are confined, as they
will thereby be urged to fatten, which
often results in death to g. laying hen.
We hear complaints of hens dying on
the nest, and over-fat which may be
attributed to overlooking. When fowls
have full range, and not so many in
one company, they will cften find the
